Google has come out with the top searches for different categories over the whole of 2017, and both the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Xbox One X have made appearances as third and fifth respectively.
This is significant as it speaks to how much excitement these devices are getting from a larger, general audience. The tech category is usually dominated by Smartphones, since they appeal to a far wider demographic. This isn’t untrue this year either, since literally every other entry in the consumer tech category is some kind of Cellular device, with iPhone 8 and iPhone X topping the charts with Samsung Galaxy S8 sandwiched between the consoles and other handsets filling out the rest.
The sales figures of the Xbox One X aren’t available since the console launched little over a month ago, but we recently learned that Nintendo Switch has shipped 10 Million units within the 9 months it’s been available, speaking to the interest in Nintendo’s hybrid. Nintendo hopes to ship a historic 50 Million Units by the next fiscal year end. See the full list of results below.
